I am going to buy some new alloy front nuckles, but they come only in 3 degre. What does the 3 degre nuckles do?? oh btw the alloy ones are a bit expensive so how are the nylon ones??? nay good?
thanks in advanced

the 3 degree means 3 degrees of camber, as in the tops of the wheels tilt inward 3 degrees. I replace my plastic parts with alloy as I break them and see the need for alloy in a certain place. I broke a set of nylon knuckles, and therefore upgraded to alloy 2 degree

If you are looking at the front of the car, the front tires will look like this:

It adds traction when turning, and creates more oversteer, but only if your tires are flat across and not rounded like the new, stock, kyosho tires.

R34man, yes you definatly should go with alloy steering knuckles. They won't break,although I'm sure someone with someday, and the travel alot smoother along the kingpin, even more so if its a stainless steel king pin. Plus nothing beats the look of ally parts on a mini-z....

yep... having more camber (the higher the degree's) will have you turn more aggresively into the turns. choosing the right camber would depend on how aggresive you would want to turn into the curves, and how technical the track is. normally the more turns the track has, the more camber you want.

to turn more aggresively into turns you can try this, take out the stabilizer bar in front, and place the springs over the steering knuckle where the steering pins are... aside from making your car turn more aggresively into the curves, this provides independent suspension (without costing a cent )... hope this helps.

Isn't real camber when you change the angle of the axis of steering? In this case it would be the angle of the king pin.
So, to increase camber you would need to angle the king pin back. (or back and in).
